Gator2511: Thanks for the good photos. Gives me some ideas about how to do mine. I like the wide steel plate L brackets for stiffening the floor & as a way to make a simple bolt-on seat attachment via the sides of the track rails.

I hadn't considered cutting those nasty hook-catches off the bottom & sides of the seat track rails that the GM design engineers obviously used to speed assembly-line drop-in of these VERY heavy seats.

Fortunately, my seats have the eletrical controls right on each seat, so probably not a whole lot of re-wiring needed. Just confused about the dozen or so wires going thru the factory pigtails. I've had an open Bud sitting close by while scratching my head over mine, too.

Thanks again.
